RECENT PUBLICATIONS. 
[ We shall be pleased to receive from authors and publishers, copies of botanical hooks, papers, and prospectuses, 
for a notice in this column.] 
In the list of new books we must first notice Prof. Gray’s “Synoptical Flora of 
North America.” (Cambridge, Mass. Price, $6.) Part I, vol. II. A continuation 
of Torrey & Gray’s “ Flora of North America,” which stopped at the end of the order 
ComposiUB. The work will be completed in two volumes of about 1200 pages each. 
Also, “Bibliographical Index to North American Botany.” (S. Watson, Smith- 
sonian Miscellaneous Collection. Washington, D. C., 1S78. Price, $2,25.) Part I. 
Polypetahe. These works are indispensable to any one studying botany. 
“ Ferns of Kentucky.” (John Williamson, Louisville, Ky. $2.) Now ready for 
distribution, and is one of the choicest books of the. year. Illustrated with 60 full 
page etchings and 6 wood-cuts. The letterpress is excellent, and as the book is inter- 
leaved with blank leaves, it will serve an excellent use as a field-book. 
“ Ferns of North America.” Parts IV and V. (Prof. Daniel Eaton. Published 
by S. Cassino, Salem, Mass. $1 each number.) Contains beautiful colored litho- 
graphs, true to nature, of some of the rarest species of North American Ferns, that 
most of us will probably never have a chance to see. 
“ List of Native and Exotic Ferns in the Greenhouses and Grounds of J. Warren 
Merrill, Cambridgeport, Mass.” This is a catalogue of Ferns collected during the 
past eight years, as an amusement and pastime, by an invalid, (Mr. Merrill); but the 
quantity has increased to such an extent that he has been forced to put a portion on 
sale. The collection is the most complete of any in the country. See his advertise- 
ment in this number. 
“Catalogue of Plants of Jefferson County, Ind., by Chas. R. Barnes, and of Clark 
County, Ind., by John F. Baird,” is the result of patient study and careful searching 
in a very pleasant task, and we only wish more counties would produce as energetic 
and ambitious botanists. The list should be in every library, as a reference to local 
botany nowhere else to be obtained. 
Next in point of interest to a choice book is a good magazine or paper, and the 
“Botanical Gazette, the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club,” fills the bill in a 
scientific botanical sense exactly ; but as they are strictly scientific, perhaps the gen- 
eral reader would not be as well pleased with them as if the subjects were more varied. 
If so, the late botanical articles in “Silliman’s Journal of Science and Arts,” “The 
American Naturalist,” or “The Transactions of the St. Louis Academy of Science,” 
would be of special interest.
